The Federal Government has announced its readiness for the actualization of its Methanol policy to put an end to the flaring of the country’s natural gas which is in abundance but has been wasting away. The Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation (FMSTI) Dr. Ogbonaya Onu gave the indication on Friday in his address at the ministerial World Press Conference on the name change from the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology (FMST) to the Federal Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (FMSTI) at the ministry’s headquarters in Abuja. However, the Minister said the ministry has been working strategically to be able to domesticate the technology behind the ethanol policy before its actualization so that it does not go the way of crude oil that was found and is being dominated by foreigners.
